Activities:
12pm White Wolf Stone Creations opens and event tee-shirt printing available (BYO Tee-shirt)
Bring your own tee-shirt to have the festival logo printed on it and help reduce waste! So much waste is caused by buying a new shirt at every event. We came up with the idea of making one shirt you take to all your events to get printed on!
What White Wolf Stone Creations is about:
Arianna Ruiz is following her dreams to pursue art and spread that love with others. She encourages creativity in her home life by having her family members make art to sell with her. Her brother makes up-cycled metal scrap art, her dad makes jewelry and her sister-in-law makes beautiful protection balls and necklaces with all natural materials.
“Everything has a purpose.” Maybe that’s to teach or heal others mentally, physically or emotionally, maybe it’s to be a mother, or be nutrients for others. As humans we have something special to provide to this world and others. White Wolf Stone Creations is all about that something special. When you find yourself connected to art, there is usually a reason why. These creations are for that purpose, to connect your soul with a piece that speaks to you and brings you closer to your inner self.
White Wolf Stone Creations strives to be friendly to our mother Earth by using invasive species in the dream catchers, teaching zero waste/upcycled art classes, and making up-cycled art!!
